Our Utopian City (Unique Utopia)

Unique Utopia

This city was designed by: Noah and Eryk.

Our Values

Friendship: In our city, friendship is very important. My city is small so that means everyone knows each other. They do all of the fun activities together and no one is ever board. The reason for lots of cars is that this is the best town ever and everyone wants to meet new people. Over the years, this town will expand from all of the people entering and living.

Trust: In this town, everyone trusts each other. No secrets are kept and no arguments because everyone is best friends with everyone. An example of this is when a father and son are at the top of a building and their holding hands trusting each other. Also, it is mandatory to drive blow the speed of 20km/h because lots of kids wonder around so drivers need to be careful. Also, everyone sleeps together. Yes, in the Community Building Dome, located on the bottom left of the town, is a place where everyone can feel safe. Every ones together which builds trust, friendship, progress and community. There is also the private place if you need to be alone for a night or two. I talk more about this in the next value.

Privacy: If you look at the city, the reason cones are up on the grass field is because that is the place you can go when you need some alone time. Everyone needs social time and private time where you can relax your mind. This is the place to do it. In one building you can go to the top and look at the great view. See the planes coming in, people playing and cars driving while getting the fresh air. The other two buildings are private bonding places where you can spend alone time with a friend.

Progress: In our town, everyday we get something done. Whether it’s the community expanding, factories building, buildings being completed or people finding love. This cities goal is progress. Everyday we do something that makes this city better.

Community: In this city, the most important thing is community. The Community Building Dome is a place where everyone lives and does activities, sports and many more things. It is way bigger than it looks. Once a month the community goes on a plane ride out of town, which is why there are the planes. They are small planes so we need 3 to carry everyone on a vacation. We will need more if and when the city expands.

Communication Reflection

The point of this project is to show what my groups perfect city would look like if we were to create it. I used the program/website called “City Creator” where you can pick which city you want to create, whether it is medieval, snowy or normal. For my city I picked Normal. Me and my partner Eryk did the majority of the project in class. We each provided our ideas of the city and our values and decided from there. Eryk and I both made a design and we decided and adjusted using both, then it came down to one. I designed the city with me and Eryk’s values and Eryk worked on the value section. We then did the symbolic colors together. We were both on task the whole time. Eryk and I worked well as a group and I would say used time very efficiently over the 2 days of working on this assignment. We did face a problem of picking which design we should use, but we solved it very quickly considering to values of choice. Out of 10 I would say, for how well I think I did with the final product, I would give myself a 7.5 because I think I should have used the snowy design template which more represents me. Next time I would explore other options first instead of just jumping in to the assignment.

Review/Reflection

  1. Was I able to identify how the geography impact the town / city with ease? How was I able to find how the physical geography impacted these areas?

Yes, the geography of Lillooet makes a huge impact on the inner and outer core of the town. These lead to job opportunities, environmental benefits and lots more. I used my notes and the internet to answer these questions. Honestly, most of this was from our notes and didn’t have much research needed.

2. How did the technology personally affect my learning? What were the pros and cons of using maphub.com?

I really enjoyed using maphub.com. It was one of the easiest platforms I have ever used. Everything is right in front of you. It offers a variety of options to choose from. By far, the pros outweigh the cons. Pros are there are a variety of maps to choose from, easy to find items, easy to organize the groups, and it gives you examples of what some maps can look like. The cons are it is hard to line up the lines when zooming in and out and that is really all I can think of. I personally loved working on maphub.com.

3. Were you satisfied with the result of your design and solutions?

Definitely, I think I put this project together really well and answered all the questions with much detail. I found the town Lillooet a great source and would love to do another project like this. I think I laid it out well and did a great job.

4. How would you refine your assignment in the future?

Next time, I would have organized myself before starting this project. I wished I started on the Tuesday and Wednesday instead of starting on the Thursday. This way I would have over a week to clearly lay out and plan. But other than that I think I have done everything fine. Honestly, I think this has been my best assignment so far in my life. I would love to do this again!
